I created a channeling rit, 15k channel armor with channeling runes, green channeling wand with green channeling focus, I worked hard building this char and they just killed it, i'm not nearly as powerful and die much easier, simply not worth playing.........I guess i'll sell my account on Ebay.......

Here is a little blurb from one of them
"Channeling Rt with Weapon of Quickening becomes a real nuking machine.
There is litteraly no downtime in nuking here except running after
retreating targets. Quickening allows your Attuned was Songkai to have
no downtime. So your 10E spells cost 6E, and your 5E spells cost 3E all
the time. So check how his nuking works under Quickening:
Channeled Strike : 2s cast time, 5s recharge, 138 damage
Spirit Burn : 1s cast time, 4s recharge, 63-110 damage
Gaze from Beyond : 1s cast time, 8s recharge, 126 damage
Essence Strike : 1s cast time, 6s recharge, 63 damage, 10E gained
Using the 4 skills back to back takes 8s including the after cast, and
that's the recharge of the longest. Just do
Gaze-Channeled-Essence-Burn, and they will always be recharged by the
time your chain ends. In the area of a spirit, it will deal 437
lightning damage, and cost you a grand total of -5E (6+3+3+3-10E from
Essence - 10.66E from natural regen). You can keep doing that forever,
you're actually gaining more than you lose, so if you have to move out
of spirit range and not get the energy from Essence back, or if at a
time you don't have Quickening during your recast of Attuned and you
have a 15s downtime, no big deal. You will easily handle the energy.
You can't be interrupted, can't be blinded, your nukes can't be dodged,
you're just a nuking machine that they have to heal. An Air ele has no
dream of achieving that, even if they go dual atune-mantra of resolve
in Weapon of Quickening, because spells like Lightning Orb are very
easy to sidestep away from, and their spells that can't be dodged
aren't that damaging (even with it's 25% AP, Lightning Strike will more
or less always do less than Spirit Burn in the area of a spirit) with
the exception of Lightning Hammer, but that's 25E/15s recharge. Air has
better utility, but Channeling has much higher reliable nuking power. I
honestly never saw nuking that had as much pressure as Channeling Rt
under WoQuickening while having 0 energy problem. I mean, just look at
the numbers, your energy doesn't even lower unless you're interrupted."
There are a number of other posts that can be commonly found. I just copied the first one I saw on a random fansite.
Before this "skill-balance" Channeling Rits were already slightly better nukers than Eles...
Now...they are MUCH MUCH better nukers than Eles, and they have far more team utility with their other stats.
EDIT: There is a problem with that post you found though Bent. Attuned was Songkai and WoQ are BOTH elites, so they can't really play together (except with two rit/mes combos).
Like I said first one I found... hehe.
